Hello everyone, some forum out there somewhere suggested I post here to potentially find an answer to something -
I recently bought this strange tiny dvd player from Australia, on Ebay, and it includes a cdrom with 150 old school NES games on it.
Now of course I want to get some of the other 7999 roms out there, you know, .NES files - and put them to a fresh cdrom, and play these gems on this Ozzy DVD system. So far I can only say this - NES roms on the net are like, 20 - 50 Kb, and these Oz files are about 96kb. The file extension on the OZ disc is .BIN, and not .NES... SO... what should I do, anybody

could you maybe upload a couple of the ROMs to a file hosting site? might be possible to figure out the format then. i seem to recall some of these DVD players do have extra data in the ROM, but they equally could just be renamed .nes files.

Im pretty sure they are NTSC, though the dvd unit can be set up as either PAL or NTSC. Is there a way to check whether the rom itself is PAL? Everything plays fine when unit is set to NTSC, I am in Canada.

I remember somebody sent me the emu+ROM binary files, and I tried to identify the 300 or so games (not being able to actually play the games, I just guessed from the looking at the ROMs in a tile editor), but I think I only got about half done.

So I got this Chinese iPod Touch clone for xmas, and then looking through the manual see that it runs NES ROMs. "Neato!," I think. So I put a couple on and load 'em up - hey, the sound and speed of the demo screens looks/sounds about right! Neato!

Then it dawns on me that this thing only has 4 buttons on it. Two of them don't do anything. But I found B and Start! They just forgot about A and any way to move. I hate Chinese iPods.

Someone sent me a .bin rom from one of those goofy dvd players a while back. I found that if you take the padding off the end of the file and rebuilt the header, the rom would play on a PC emulator. I never really investigated making it work the other way around. I assume the file was padded in order to meet the sector size limit of the CD-Rom, the header was probably to encode the data for the menus.
